34. They retorted, You were wholly born in sin [from head to foot]; and do you [presume to] teach us? So they cast him out [threw him clear outside the synagogue].
35. Jesus heard that they had put him out, and meeting him He said, Do you believe in and adhere to the Son of Man or the Son of God ?
36. He answered, Who is He, Sir? Tell me, that I may believe in and adhere to Him.
37. Jesus said to him, You have seen Him; [in fact] He is talking to you right now.
38. He called out, Lord, I believe! [I rely on, I trust, I cleave to You!] And he worshiped Him.
39. Then Jesus said, I came into this world for judgment [as a Separator, in order that there may be separation between those who believe on Me and those who reject Me], to make the sightless see and to make those who see become blind.
40. Some Pharisees who were near, hearing this remark, said to Him, Are we also blind?
41. Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would have no sin; but because you now claim to have sight, your sin remains. [If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but because you insist, We do see clearly, you are unable to escape your guilt.]
